#generative art

Found some old-school datamoshing/glitch art in my archive — one of my earlier pieces. Happy to share it here.

Nvidia just revealed their next generation DLSS 5 and it is legitimately the worst thing to ever touch video games. Now, ontop of the video upscaling and frame generation, Nvidia is adding environmental and facial post processing and the results are fucking horrendous.

Grace DOES NOT LOOK LIKE GRACE she looks like every AIGenerated woman that is used to sell porn scams or what people 4Chan call the "ideal woman" - the ideal woman of them of course is a jaw lined, lip-filled and glossy, clean blonde woman with perfect white complexion. Because oligarchs (and those that blindly follow them) are built on white nationalism. This is their ideology, this is what the perfect woman looks like to them and what every woman should look like and they will stop at nothing to make it true...

Beyond this the end results are just straight up awful. Lighting is completely wrong, making environments unnecessarily bright and just removing shadows all together...

The use of the Oblivion remaster and Assassin's Creed Shadows are by far the worst offenders, every single usage of DLSS5 looks like they were taken from a Polaroid with too much exposure...

Now you might be thinking "It's DLSS, it is an optional feature we can turn it off" and this is where I am going to have to put my tinfoil hat on for a bit and make a little theory:

Jensen has A LOT of money riding on AI being the future and on top of all the LLMs, consumer AI usage is also part of it, which includes GenAI photo editing - features that Samsung, Google, Apple and Meta all are trying to cram down your throats into thinking that it is normal to completely fake your life. This is just another method to that conditioning. Grace with DLSS5 is just another example of that slop and slapping it within a feature that in modern PC gaming has basically become a necessity, means that we will all be exposed to it - directly or through livestreams and let's plays. Nvidia has now introduced a scenario whether you either spend £5,000 to get what the actual game looks like, or be fed AI slop just to get your game to run.

In short, this shit is horrendous and is just a really shitty reshader with a 4chan woman filter built in. I just want an upscaler, that's all I wanted. Stop changing my game from the source material and actively making it worse.

It's an insult to my eyes, my monitor and the art team of the game I'm playing. Fuck you Nvidia. Fuck you Jensen.
